Parents are being called out as a guidance counsellor and a nutritionist critique trash choices students have for lunch while at school.
One guidance counsellor who is also a registered counselling psychologist Shaunt?e Walters said that students can only work with what they can afford when it comes to the canteen. “I think we need to not just look at psycho-education and teaching the students to make healthy lifestyle choices, but we also need to work at changing the choices….changing the choices that they have, the options when it comes to the canteens, when it comes to the vendors on the school compound, because if you’re hungry and you only have three or four things to choose from, you will choose three or four things.”
It comes down to the communities that they come from and the socioeconomic group
And she said that parents must take a significant portion of the blame for what students choose from the menu on the daily basis.
“It is quite difficult in the school setting to address what the students are eating given the fact that in a lot of cases the parents are the ones who are supplying what they are eating.
“So when we say to students when you go to the canteen or when you have to buy lunch you have to choose some of the healthier things, ‘You can’t just have chips and ketchup every day, chips and ketchup, chips and ketchup. You can’t have fried chicken for breakfast every day. It is not healthy.’
“Then they say, ‘But this is what I have’; ‘This is what is available at the canteen’; ‘Ths is what my mummy told me to buy’; or ‘This is what I have money to get’.”
However, she admitted that getting to a healthier place seems to be the goal and “a work in progress” but, “it will take some time.
“We’re not just changing the culture at the school, but we’re going to need to change the culture in the homes, in communities, in the fast food world, but if each of us puts our hands to the plough, I believe it can be done.”
Supporting this stance as well, as she spoke about some poor lunch choice differences and similarities between school-age girls and boys, Public Health Nutritionist Nicole Griffith added, “It comes down to the communities that they come from and the socioeconomic groups, and I know people don’t like to hear that but it is truthful.”
She said that children from the lower socioeconomic classes are not arriving at school with water, occasional fruit juice and packed lunches. Instead, they have money and it’s either enough or they pool funds together with other kids and then have to resort to the canteen options. “So then obviously the choices they may have to choose from are not always the best because they don’t have that many options to choose from.”
They were speaking on a panel discussion on Healthy Living as part of Education Month. It was conducted via Zoom.

The Barbados Meteorological Services is monitoring three tropical waves to the East of the island.
A tropical wave was initilized along 27W south of 15N moving west at 5-10 knots.
A tropical wave was analyzed along 39W south of 20N moving west at 5-10 knots.
A tropical wave was analyzed along 57W/ 58W south of 20N moving west around 5 knots.
The tropical wave currently along 57/58W will move across the region overnight, October 18 into October 19. Conditions will be occasionally cloudy with brief showers.
On Wednesday, October 19, the tropical wave will lose its signature as it exits the Eastern Caribbean. Light surface to low-level winds and diurnal heating will trigger some afternoon localized showers. Overnight, guidance is showing an increase in low-level moisture ahead of a broad low-level trough, with the axis east of the region.
Meanwhile, the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS/Met Office) has shared that the axis of the nearest tropical wave is expected to reach Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday morning, however, it is not expected to produce intense weather.
“This wave does not appear to be producing significant convective activity on a synoptic scale. Due to some associated low-level convergence, we can see a bit of moisture increase over Trinidad and Tobago,” the Met Office said.
The second tropical wave is in the central tropical Atlantic, the axis of which is estimated to be five to six days away. The third tropical wave is in the far eastern tropical Atlantic. These two waves pose no direct threat or influence on Trinidad’s weather at this time.

Police are informing the public that Mr. Noel Paul Manning, age 53 of Bodden Town, who was previously circulated as a missing person, is now wanted by the police in relation to sexual offences. He is no longer considered missing but is believed to be in hiding from authorities.
As such, police are appealing for public assistance in locating Mr. Manning. He is described as being short, of slim build and brown complexion, with a bald head and white facial hair. He is also known to go by the nicknames “Indian,” “Doc” and “Doctor.”
Mr. Manning is known to be frequenting the Bodden Town area and may be living in unfinished or abandoned structures.
The public is reminded that according to the Police Act (2021 Revision), it is an offense to obstruct, mislead or act in such a way as to prevent the apprehension of a person who has committed an offense. If prosecuted under this section, you may be liable on conviction to a fine of $5000 or imprisonment for two years or both.
Police are encouraging anyone with information on Mr. Manning’s whereabouts to contact 9-1-1, or Bodden Town CID at 947-2220.

CayMAS Carnival is limiting the presence of T-shirt costumes on the parade route.
In a statement posted to social media, the organisation said while it is not banning T-shirts, a costume band cannot have a T-shirt section that comprises more than 30 per cent of the band’s total registered participants and only up to 175 shirts sold.
According to the terms and Conditions, solely T-Shirt Bands will no longer be permitted to register/participate with CayMAS Carnival.
A fine of $5,000 and/or the removal from the parade, will be enforced with any financial losses placed on the band for incompliance with the Costume Policies of CayMAS Carnival.
The organisers said this is necessary to satisfy the demands of spectators who prefer colourful costumes of which they can take pictures.
“We have created a product that can compete with the top Carnivals within the region as a true Carnival Tourism Destination since inception and look to stride to higher levels and institute superior standards within CayMAS Carnival,” the organisers said in the statement.
“We have taken another step towards this by implementing a very thought-out Terms and Conditions plan. In this Plan, the main point to note is the removal of full T-shirt Bands as participants in future CayMAS Carnivals.”
They said carnival is first and foremost about the colours, vibrancy and flair of costumes and feathers and spectators and the majority of participants want to see costumes showcased on the Parade route.
They said while spectators appreciate T-shirt sections as a part of the experience, they have expressed that it removes from the carnival masquerade experience because they want to see what bands are bringing for that specific year in costumes and to be able to take pictures with masqueraders in costume.
“CayMAS Carnival is aiming to create a delicate balance between the expectations of our Bands and masqueraders, and our spectators and sponsors when it comes to the presentation of our Carnival parade. We look forward in continuing to create a Carnival full of colourful, vibrant, beautiful Carnival costumes with lots of feathers and other creative backpacks, attracting more and more Carnival travellers to our shores for many CayMAS Carnivals to come.”

Le Real Madrid a compl?tement domin? son Clasico et inflig? une s?v?re correction (3-1) au FC Barcelone dimanche 16 octobre. Karim Benzema (12e) et Federico Valverde (35) n’ont pas mis du temps pour prendre l’avantage et faire le break avant la fin de la premi?re p?riode. Ferran Torres a certes redonn? de l’espoir aux cul?s en r?duisant le score 83e minutes mais c’?tait sans compter l’intr?pidit? du jeune attaquant br?silien Rodrygo qui obtenu un p?nalty qu’il a converti dans les arr?ts de jeu. Au terme de 9 journ?es, les Merengues prennent ? eux seuls les r?nes de La Liga avec 25 points.
L’?quipe d’Ancelloti marche sur l’eau. En revanche, les hommes emmen?s par Xavi, poursuivent leur lente descente aux enfers alors qu’ils sont ? deux doigts d’?tre ?limin?s de la Ligue des champions. L’ancien milieu de terrain, converti en entra?neur, est sous le feu des critiques ? cause de ses performances. Apr?s 50 match, Xavi a remport? a remport? 28 matchs, fait 11 matchs nuls et perdu ? 11 reprises. En comparaison, Ronald Koeman avait 33 victoires, 7 matchs nuls et 10 d?faites.

Mika est parti avec sa patrie. A Bercy, devant pr?s de 15 mille spectateurs, il a rendu, pour une derni?re fois, hommage ? ce pays qu’il a longtemps chant? sur albums solo et singles. <>, <>, <>, <>, <>, <> … toutes des chansons qui t?moignent de l’attachement de Michael Benjamin ? Ha?ti. Ha?ti a ?t? sa muse.
<< Ayiti cheri w m?t kw? m
Pa gen anyen k ap f? m kite w
M ap toujou la pou ou cheri >>.
Lorsque Mika avec sa guitare s?che chantait ces paroles qu’on retrouve sur le morceau <> ? chacune de ses prestations, on ignorait qu’il allait les vivre jusqu’? ses ultimes moments sur un podium. De ses d?buts de jeune artiste, au concours de chants <> sur la t?l?vision Telemax avec son titre <> en 1999, ? son statut de chanteur accompli de 41 ans dans la grande salle de l’Accor Arena ? Paris, Mikaben ne s’est jamais d?parti du pays de Dessalines.
Avec sa plume et sa voix, le fils du chanteur et compositeur Lionel Benjamin a toujours ?t? un chanteur d’Ha?ti. A date, <> sortie en 2012 demeure sa chanson la plus populaire consacr?e ? sa ch?re patrie. Cette chanson que le polyvalent Mika a l?gu?e aux Ha?tiens quelques ann?es apr?s le tremblement de terre du 12 janvier 2010, est un portrait vivant de ce pays dans lequel on vit avec tant de contrastes.
<> d?crit Ha?ti dans toute sa beaut?, son charme naturel sa richesse gastronomique et sa spontan?it?. Tout comme, elle pr?sente l’autre Ha?ti : celle qu’on conna?t dans toute sa disgr?ce, sa pauvret? et sa honte.
Avec douceur, la voix de <> a mis sous nos yeux les deux faces d’une seule et unique m?daille.
<< Ayiti se b?l lanm?, se b?l montay ak b?l rivy?
Se b?l plaj ak pye kokoye, b?l peyizaj ak b?l koul?
Ayiti se sant kafe k ap monte nan nen m lematen
Se sant lawouze k f?k poze Pou fl? diz? ka boujonnen
Ayiti se yon konbit peyizan k ap s?kle lat?
Se ti machann yo k ap desann pou y al goumen ak lavi ch?
Ayiti se timoun yo k ap reve de yon b?l avni
Se dlo rig?l la k ap desann
Pa konn kote l pral ateri
Ayiti se anba tant lan depi apre 12 janvye
Se labou k lev on move sant chak l? yon ti lapli fin tonbe >>.
Sur son premier album, <>, paru dans les ann?es 2000, Benjamin fils a d?di? les deux premi?res chansons ? sa nation. <> d’abord et sa chanson de No?l, <>, qu’il chante avec sa soeur M?lodie, ensuite. Dans ces deux compositions, il explique certains probl?mes sociaux confront?s par des Ha?tiens. Des probl?mes auxquels il dit ?tre expos? depuis son enfance et pour lesquels il recommande ? ses compatriotes l’unit? comme l’une des solutions, sur <>.
<< Depi mwen piti peyi m nan traka
Se pou t?t sa mwen pral chante jodi la
Mwen pral mande poukisa l ap soufri konsa
Men m p ap dekouraje m ap toujou gen lespwa
Paske yon jou l a vanse
F?k Ayisyen rasanble
Pou peyi nou ka sove
F?k nou tout sere kole
Manman ak pitit ape soufri
Ti machann sou twotwa ape p?di lavi
Apresa nou pral mande m pouki m pa konn ri
Se paske chak jou mwen w? anpil mandyan nan lari
K? m f? m mal l? mwen w? yo
Mwen ta renmen ede yo >>.
Dans <>, il emm?ne son auditoire dans les rues d’Ha?ti pour lui faire vivre de pr?s cette mis?re dans laquelle baigne tous les jours une couche de la population ha?tienne. Cette couche ? qui No?l n’a jamais souri.
<< Yon 24 desanm mwen t ap mache nan lari P?toprens
Se av?k trist?s mwen rankontre yon ti p?v k ape di mwen
Pou mwen sa se pa Nw?l, s on fl?v miz? k ape koule
Ou kapab trouve l b?l, ou gen fanmi ki pou gate w
Mwen menm m pa gen p?sonn, mwen just ap bat dlo pou m f? b?
Si w w? m mande lemond, se paske m vle yon Nw?l mey?
Yon 24 desanm mwen t ap mache nan lari Petyonvil
Ti k? m dechire l? m t ap gade yon ti granmoun k ape plenyen
Depi 75 an m ap mennen yon vi difisil
Pa gen yon moun ki f on jan pou ban m yon ti dra pou m kouvri m
Ou te m?t pa gen nanm, ou dwe konprann jan m ap soufri
Bondye si w te ka pran m, mennen m av? w pou m sa souri >>.
? l’instar de ce premier opus, Mikaben avec <>, musique en sixi?me position sur son deuxi?me album titr? <> (2004), n’a pas chang? la donne. Ha?ti est encore pr?sente dans son oeuvre. Il traite ? nouveau de la pr?carit? des plus d?munis vivant dans des quartiers populaires en Ha?ti, dont Cit? Soleil, et du grand d?s?quilibre social r?gnant dans le pays.
<< Fl?v miz? ap koule nan yon nasyon…
L? pou w soti f? w f? tr? atansyon
Kominike, gen kouvrefe
Men tansyon ap monte…
Fatra nan lari
Maladi gaye san paspouki
San enfrastrikti
Ni j?n ?ske s on p?p k ap viv…
Anpil diferans sosyal, segregasyon
Chaje resous men g on mov?z repatisyon >>.
Il en a fait de m?me sur son troisi?me album <> sorti en 2010. ? la seule diff?rence, il a convi? d’autres artistes comme son p?re Lionel Benjamin, Mickael Guirand, T-Jo Zenny, Tifane, B?lO, S?bastien Pierre, Olivier Duret, Stanley Georges, Roosevelt Jean-No?l, entre autres, pour signer le premier titre <> apr?s le s?isme d?vastateur du 12 janvier. Sur cette chanson, Mika et ses pairs proposaient de partir sur de nouvelles bases pour la reconstruction du pays.
<< An n pase an aksyon pou n bati yon nasyon
Nou bezwen disiplin ak bon kow?dinasyon
Nou pral f? f?masyon ak bon edikasyon
Pati sou nouvo prensip e mete yo ann apilkasyon
Nou menm atis nou vle pou n kontribye
Mete men nou ansanm pou nou ede
Nou vle pou n f? yon s?l pou Ayiti pi b?l
Yon jou la va klere k on lakansy?l >>.
Et jusqu’? son dernier disque <> (2018) rien n’avait chang? avec <>, chanson sur laquelle il chante les prouesses d’Ha?ti ? travers l’histoire et la culture ha?tienne, en compagnie de Paul Beaubrun.
<< Ha?ti, mon pays, ma patrie
Mwen vin pale nan non ou cheri
Tout sa m di, yo soti nan zantray ou
Tout lwa yo, espri yo, ginen yo, tout voye m f on ti pale pou yo
Chovi yo, rasanble vin tande istwa yo
Se nou k te k?manse revolisyon
Zans?t nou yo yo pat janm pran nan presyon
Se nou k te k?manse liberasyon
Kilti nou se nou
Se li k f? nou Gran >>.
Ce pays a habit? Mika durant ses 20 ann?es de carri?re. Depuis ses premiers pas dans la musique ha?tienne en tant que professionnel jusqu’? ce samedi 15 octobre 2022 o? il a mis le feu ? l’Accor Arena avant de tirer sa r?v?rence avec le drapeau ha?tien bien maintenu ? son cou.
